Already underway, this new addition to Manchester’s bursting arts scene is doing things differently and very innovatively indeed. The festival is split into Exhibitions and Events but both strands are equally dedicated to previewing the most up-and-coming elements of the city’s arty scenes. The work should be taken seriously, of course, but the organisers are clearly aiming to have some fun. It’s about time too – there’s no reason the arts can’t be laughed along and partied with, right?! Instead of heading to a regular night out, stick your head into a Free For Arts event and discover the talents of the city’s more hidden performers. They promise a good time. At this price especially, you won’t be disappointed.

Events

• Mon 5th, 8pm at Odd Bar: Live Soap Opera
• Tues 6th, 8pm at Odder Bar: Quizimodo Arty Pub Quiz Special
• Wed 7th, 8pm at Odd Bar: Mini Cine Picture Show (best international short film weirdness)
• Thur 8th, 9pm at Mint Lounge: Gesamped, a night of sound art. Beats and bleeps, rhythms and rhymes, noises and nonsense.
• Fri 9th 8pm at Bar Centro: Closing party. Live bands headlined by the Tigers that Talked.

Exhibitions

Far too many to list. See website for details of installations; photography; painting and graffiti in, on and around unexpected city centre locations.
